This is key.  There was a bug where vdsm did not take the vdsm.conf 
nfs_mount_options into consideration [1], which was fixed upstream in 
4.10.1--so after the version you are running.  There was also a 
complementary patch in engine--the two work together to fix this issue.

If you had the fix, you would simply need to be sure to not check the 
"Override Default Options" checkbox for your NFS storage in the UI. 
However, without the fix, I think the most straightforward way to 
accomplish what you want is to configure the storage using a Posix domain 
as Itamar suggested earlier in the thread.

I'll leave the question of adding additional, custom parameters in the UI 
for others to answer.  Seems like it could be useful, but can be 
accomplished other ways.
